Benefits of Nuts

The pistachio is an excellent source of monounsaturated fatty acid, a beneficial type of fat that helps to reduce LDL (the "bad") cholesterol levels and raise HDL (the "good") levels. Compared with most nuts, the monounsaturated fat content of pistachios (about 67 percent of the total fat in pistachios) is high and is similar to that of almonds. A healthful alternative to snack foods that are often devoid of nutritional value or high in saturated fat, the pistachio offers superior nutrition, flavor and texture and can be added to salads, main dishes and desserts.
